More Small History

if you've been to the Merge Store recently you may have noticed that in addition to the 44-track Some Small History album that came out a couple weeks ago, there's a free set of 11 bonus tracks to download that wouldn't fit on the album -- we maxed out the time on both discs in the set. there are also extended liner notes on the album page, to which i've now added extra liners about the bonus tracks as well.

When I heard about this compilation I was most excited to get a good digital version of "Do You Want to Buy a Bridge" (other side of Spying on the Spys 7 inch). I was surprised it didn't make the cut - so I assumed it HAD to be one of these 10 bonus songs, but I guess not. My conspiracy theory is that Mac has kids now and doesn't want to include a song that blatantly drops an F-bomb. Confirm or deny?
